Hey guys, I was wondering whether the INT-X would eat your battery? because some people have told me it does that, and seeing as I have already went through 2 batteries, I dont want to buy another every 2 months.....seriously

The int-x will not eat your battery.

Mine is fine. I only drive the car once or twice a week and it starts right up.

Yeah it deff doesn't eat the battery. I am running the tiny oddeysee battery and I have never had a problem.

It did eat mine. When its hooked up and it sits for a few days its dead as a door nail. Not hooked up, no porblems what so ever.

I use the small battery supplied with the esmeril kit and if the car sits for like 3 days the battery goes dead. Now I don't know if its from the INT-X or my aftermarket 2-way alarm with proxy sensor. It could be a combo of both, but I will be relocating my battery to the trunk and replacing it with an optima yellow top.

i've read that several people with int-x commonly lose their batteries. i think they ended up just pulling a fuse when they turn the car off. such a hassle imo.

good luck. scott may have an update for the int-x to fix this.

Actually, I had never notised this before, as the car was driven constantly, but now the car was parked for over a months, and the last time I checked, my battery was completely depleted. I mean 100% dead. not even a light would come up. I had to use the key to open the door.
So Yes, Int-X does draw from the battery when the car is off.

Yup, Intx eats battery, if you don't drive it everyday you should have a trickle charger on it. No biggie.

I have a small 540 amp battery, it just about dies within 24 hours. guess its time to upgrade to a larger battery?

So you can get 36 hours before it dies?

Makes no sense......

Yea, I get about that before I cant turn the car over. I got the box with the SFR kit and put it in the trunk. The box was only big enough for a 26-3. AKA smallest battery they sell. I guess I will be buying a new battery box. :)
